Yea, security and distractions will probably be the biggest concerns here. Perhaps there will be a "home" mode and a "deployed" mode (which presumably would prohibit Angry Birds)?
Giving every single soldier an iPhone is probably overkill. Perhaps only platoon leaders or senior NCOs should get them, at least at first? Scattering 100,00 devices with access to intelligence across Afghanistan is just asking for trouble.
Although, that would be sweet to be able to view a...

I looked up the original data and the sums add up to more than 100% because they included apps that changed pricing model during the study period. That is, if they started out paid and then moved to free within the survey period, they were counted twice. Not due to rounding. Good eye though.
I don't know why people take these things so personally. I love my iPhone, but if using another brand of phone/OS/app store makes someone happy, so be it! I dunno why people why need...

I couldn't think of any good reason why Apple would want Sony - but you bring up some interesting points. There might be a few fields where a purchase would give them more leverage.
Apple TV - Sony televisions (e.g. Bravia)/Blu-ray players
iTunes/iPod - Sony Music; Television studio
iLife - digital cameras/camcorders
App Store/iOS - PlayStation
However, Apple's philosophy has always been (under Jobs, anyway) to focus on a few products and do them well. I think the whole...

Complement = Make complete
The separate battery compartments seems contrary to Apple's unremovable, huge battery philosophy. I mean, they have videos on their website explaining why it's better to have one enormous battery rather than separate ones with their accompanying support structures.
The other design changes seem welcome though. Personally, I'm much more excited about Lion than I am about a new MacBook Air...

I could see why you'd say that, but I disagree. Cupping the left corner drops about 2 bars of reception. On the other hand, the new antenna design gives me noticeably better reception when it is not cupped. Calls from my bedroom used to drop every 10 minutes or so. Now drops are pretty rare.
Apple External Antenna Design:Pros
+Better reception (usually)
+External rigidity (no more hairline fractures hopefully)
+Increased internal volume
+thinner designCons
-Drops 2...

Your opinion would have more credibility if you actually backed it up with some kind of argument or reasoning. We're mostly big fans of Apple products on this forum, but that doesn't mean that we hate on every other company/product. It's one thing to dislike a trailer - it is what it is. But I'll reserve judgement on Windows 7 mobile since I've never used it or seen it in action.

I dislike ads in general, but I understand that they underpin/subsidize many kinds of media content. So long as they are not intrusive and help developers make a living writing apps (for cheap), then this is good news.
